DISCLAIMER: Don't own Naruto. If I did it wouldn't be as great as it is today. :P

A young 17 year old, Naru Uzumaki-Namikaze, was currently training with Kurama in her mindscape on Turtle Island while the bloodshed of the fourth great shinobi war was happening miles away from her current position. What she didn't know was that on that very day her life would change completely, before she could help her comrades out on the battle field against the legendary Madara Uchiha, with his Zetsu army and Kabuto's reincarnated army of the greatest of shinobi to walk the Earth.

A yellow flash could be seen as Naru Uzumaki-Namikaze was running at full speed to help her fellow comrades finish the war, and try to bring peace to the world like her Master, Jiraiya, and sibling student Nagato seeked. Naru decided to cut through the forest in hopes of reaching the battle field faster. But she soon realized how big of a mistake it was to travel in an unfamiliar forest and to top it off, the forest was dense with foliage, but she pummeled forward not wanting to turn around and waste more time.

With the Kyuubi's chakra mode, her senses became heightened and could feel the malice radiating of the enemies which made it easier for her to pinpoint where she needed to go. The further she ventured into the forest the more restless Kurama was; and immediately Naru became to worry for her new friend and asked to see if he was alright.

"Yo Fuzz ball, what's wrong? I can feel your chakra becoming restless within the seal."

"Kit...This forest, be careful."

"What?! Why?" Naru was becoming more annoyed with his cryptic messages. They made her think too much.

"Just watch where you step."

"BAKA FOX Just tell me alreeaady" she whined. A tick mark formed on top of the fox's head, he hated it when the stupid flesh bag acted like this.

" "

"BAKA FOX, ERO KITSUNE, KURAMA-JIJI ASDFGHJKL!" The fox's eye started to twitch furiously. If there was one thing his holder knew what to do, it was to annoy the hell out of people, but Naru's next comment made the Kyuubi no Kitsune snap at his new found partner. "Tch, some demon king you are."

" "

" "

"YOU INSOLENT BRAT. HOW DARE YOU CALL ME, THE KYUUBI NO YOKO STUPID. MORE SO A PERVERT AND OLD."

"Are you serious...?" Naru started grinning; oh she was going to enjoy putting the demon fox in his place. "You, the so-called demon king got sealed into me by my parents, you're like hundreds of years old and don't think that I don't know about you fantasizing about a certain two-tailed cat." oh this is goood. Take that you stupid fox.

"Waa-atch your-r mo-outh kit; and watch where you're going. You've got to take this war seriously."

"Ohoho, no denial...Wait! You stupid fox, of COURSE I'm taking this seriously. Tsk. Tell me what's wrong before I-I do this!" Naru started projecting various positions of the demon fox and cat doing the nasty deed in human form. Looks like all those books ero-sennin made me read were totally worth it. Kurama couldn't block out all the images his holder were throwing at him, which led him flying backward with a massive nose bleed. Ouch, note to self: No more pervy thoughts about demons. Kurama got back on his feet and couldn't stop his nose from running with red liquid. Boy, was he embarrassed; more so when his fur became more red than usual. If that was even possible.

"STOP IT YOU GAKI! I'll spill. GRRRR, STOP IT ALREADY!" Naru gave the Fox one last intimate image before she stopped harassing the pleading Fox. Well looky here, the demon king surrendering. Oh I'm soo using this as blackmail after I defeat Mada-teme.

"Listen kit, I haven't been in this forest since the Old Man died. No-one has. This is where my brothers and sisters were created. Knowing the Old Man he would've set up seals to protect our place of birth. Just watch were you step, I don't know what the seals do."

"Ohh, the big bad Fox cares…" Naru had fake anime tears stream down her face making Kurama Shake with furry. "…sniff…I didn't know th-aat yoo-u could b-ee soo…" Kurama suddenly felt a shift in the air; he felt that something bad was going to happen.

"KIT WATCH OUT!"

Before Naru could notice, both of their chakra had activated an ancient seal on the forest floor. She raised her arms as a bright white flash consumed her vision and felt her body being sucked & ripped apart.

"KIT HOLD ON!" Kurama tried his best to push his chakra out keep his host's body in one piece, as the both of them were warped through the seal. Naru's screams were deafening as her body felt like it was being ripped limb by limb; then being reattached then ripped off once again. She had never felt so much pain in her life. Not even with the beatings on her birthdays. The pain soon became too much for her to handle before she passed out. "YOU BETTER STAY ALIVE!"

Naru felt something wet nudge at her cheek and tried to push it away, but failed miserably as her arms felt like they were on fire. She kept feeling the wetness nudge at her, then finally the prodding stopped. She felt relief as it stopped but felt she was forgetting something. "KIT GET UP, I KNOW YOUR AWAKE!" arrg stupid Fox what does he want. She tried to pry her eyes open but quickly closed them as the light was too strong for her to handle right now. "Argg, Kurama what happened?" she asked hoarsely. She was still lying on the on the ground when she felt something furry jump on top of her knocking the wind out of her.

"Kit get up…NOW." The Fox demanded. Naru's body suddenly jolted up straight; ignoring the protesting of her muscles and pushed the being of her stomach and yelled, "WHAT THE HELL KURAMA! YOU JUST CAN'T JUMP ON ME AND DEMAND SHIT, YOU SHITTY FOX!" Naru was both shocked and surprised to see the being that she pushed of her was a Tiger sized fox. The fox had orangey red fur and nine flowing tails swishing behind it. "Kyuubi? Is that yo-ou?"

The Kyuubi rolled it's slit eyes and said, "Who'd ya think kit…" before Naru could open her mouth, Kurama wrapped a tail around her mouth and another around her body; and then gently lifted her till she was lying on top of him. Soft. "Kit I need you to shut up for now while I explain what happened." Naru just held on tight and rested her head on his fur. "The seal is still in place, how I got out? The seal changed a bit so I can take on a physical form, I can also return to the seal when I feel like it, or if you want it." Naru just listened quietly as the fox continued. "Kit…That seal we activated, I believe the Old Man's seal placed us back in time. How far back we are? I don't have a clue. But remember Kit we're no longer in our timeline, there's no fourth war here. So you need to watch what you say. Depending how far we are, your friends are most likely not born. We have to find a way back to our time, before you screw up the timeline and end up destroying the future…" Naru grunted, too tired and sore to argue; but she knew he was right. Though she was curious to where they were. Maybe I have a chance to save my precious people now. Maybe. "But…Kit, I can feel a small presence of my chakra a few miles from here. This could either mean that I have already been sealed and we are in the time of my first host, your great Aunt, Mito Uzumaki; or your mother, Kushina Uzumaki. I doubt we are in the time of your reign, otherwise we wouldn't exist. I need you to rest your body so we can find your Aunt or mother to see if they can teach you in seals and hopefully develop a seal to return to our time before shit happens.

Naru nodded and swiftly fell asleep while Kuruma stayed up for a few minutes to summon some foxes to keep watch over the two while they rested.

It had been over a week since Naru and Kurama travelled to the past. They were still unsure of what year they were in but travelled toward Konoha in hopes of finding her family. Of course Kurama told her not to reveal that they came from the future and that he was the Kyuubi, so he was stuck with her calling all sorts of names that would make the other demons howl with laughter that their King was being treated like that. Naru still wore her orange & black jumpsuit and hid her headband given to her by Iruka-Sensei in a marked hollowed out tree near the river that led all through the land of Fire. Kurama on the other hand retracted his eight other tails and shrunk down to the size Akamaru used to be in the rookie days and rested on top of Naru's head. Kurama had given her the Foxes contract since she no longer held the toads and started practicing and meeting the members of the Fox clan. Naru was the first human summoner for the Foxes, which made the clan yip with excitement as their leader had chosen a worthy holder of their contract. They were about a 6 hours walk from Konohagakure when they both smelt the familiar metallic blood lofting through the air (Kurama heightened Naru's senses when she signed the contract, so it's like a fox). Naru and Kurama rushed towards the blood when they heard a child screaming.

Three 12 year olds, freshly graduated Genins witnessed the death other their Jonin instructor that sacrificed his life to protect his team. The ninjas that murdered their sensei were a 4-man Chunin and Jonin team sent from Iwa to assassinate the Shodai Hokage's Grandson while he was out of the village doing missions.

Nawaki Senju had short light-brown hair, green-grey eyes and distinct blushes on his cheeks. He wore dark teal poncho top and light green pants. He was also wearing the First Hokage's necklace which he wore around his neck, gifted to him by his older sister Tsunade. The other male on the team was Shimon Seimei. He had long brown hair that reached his shoulder blades and had parted bangs that went to the ends of his ears and green murky eyes. He wore a black sleeve-less hoodie, and dark blue pants. The female of team had long purple hair with a light blue streak on her right and had dark grey eyes. She wore a brown tank top and a burnt orange apron over black tights. She was called Momoka Haruka.

Nawaki was shot out of his funk as he heard his only female team-mate scream in horror. The Iwa team were charging at the stunned Genin and were about to slice them in half when Nawaki saw two orange red blurs appear in front of his team. He spotted the orange blur kick one of the chunin in the chin and watched as he flew back and landed on his partner. Curses of murder could be heard as the Iwa Shinobi charged at a now revealed blonde teenage girl wearing what looked to be an orange jumpsuit and a now horse sized, dark orange blood red fox. Nawaki and his team gathered together and watched as the petit little girl and her partner take out highly trained ninjas.

Naru and Kurama charged at the Iwa shinobi as soon as the kids moved away. Naru took on two of the Chunin while Kumara handled the Chunin and Jonin ninjas. Naru leapt out of the way as a large man with a fat warty nose sliced at her with a kunai, she was thinking about how sloppy his form was that even a 12 year old Sakura could take him out. Naru got sick of being on the defense and brought out a kunai in both hands in reverse grip and lunged at the tubby man. Naru ran past him and kneeled back facing him and slashed harshly at his gut making him curse out in pain and flipped her foot around to catch his partner of guard and landed a solid kick to the jaw throwing him upwards. She then leapt into the air and gave a chakra enhanced round-house kick to the skull killing the skinny man instantly. The man fell towards the Earth and left a 2 meter crater, shattering most of his bones. She glance over at Kurama and noticed he just finished off the jonin ninja.

Kurama charged straight ahead towards the chunin and side-stepped his attack and thrust his glowing tail into the back of the ninja straight into his heart killing him instantly. He really hated it when his fur got dirtied, especially by worthless flesh-bags like these ninjas. The jonin stared in shock and horror as he watched his team die at the hands of a small blonde girl and a bloody fox. He tried his best to turn and run when he notice the growl and snarl emitted from the fox, but it was too late as Kurama lunged and bit down hard on his neck, snapping it in the process. Kurama was glad that the vermin didn't scream, it annoyed the heck out of him, unless it was Matatabi screaming his name underneath him. Fufufu, one day…one day. Kurama looked over to his host and noticed the kick she gave to the Iwa shinobi. Man kit, you weren't even going full out.

Kurama walked over to the bodies and burnt them into a crisp after cleaning them of their goods and handed their mission scroll to Naru. Naru took the scroll and walked over to the Genin to see if they were okay.

Nawaki saw that the blonde was heading over toward him and his team and slowly pulled out a kunai to try to protect his team. Naru spotted this and raised her hands to show she means no harm and said, "Clam down kid we just saved your lives…" she glanced over to what she hoped was their Sensei and continued on calmly, "How are you guys handling what you saw" when they didn't reply she walked till she was in front of them and knelt. "Hi, my name is Naru and that Fuzz-ball over there is Kurama. We don't mean to harm you. Are you okay?" She gave them a gentile smile and noticed the gash on the girl's arm and started making a fuss over it, getting out her medical kit to work on her wound. If there was one thing baa-chan made Naru learn, it was to be able to patch herself up when she had too…and to also calm baa-chan fussing over her.

Nawaki and his friends watch stunned as the now introduced Naru, who was once destroying the Iwa shinobi so easily minutes ago, turn into a kind and fussy mother-hen. Momoka didn't pull away as Naru tended to her wounds. She gave her friends a look and all nodded at each other. Momoka giggled, which caught the attention of Naru who then blushed lightly and rubbed the back of her head. "I'm Momoka Haruka and these are my team mates, the one in the poncho is Nawaki Senju and the hoodie is Shimon Seimei." Kumara had finish sealing their Sensei into a scroll and gave it to the Genin team, who nodded in thanks.

Kit, isn't that your Hokage's little brother?

Yeah it is, he's even wearing the necklace…but I thought he died…SHIT. I think this is the mission he was supposed to die on. Crap Kurama, what now?

*sigh* can't change things now, and I doubt you'd let me kill him. Just go with it. We can deal with things later I'm tired. At least we know what time we're in.

With their mental conversation over, Kurama shrunk back down and leapt back onto Naru's head. "I see you're from Konohagakure, I was heading their myself, I suggest that we go together. Who knows if you little kiddie will get attacked again" she chuckled.

Nawaki was the first to speak up, "HEY LADY, we're not kids, we are ninjas. We can protect ourselves…but why should we trust you? Just because you saved us!"

"Listen Gaki, you and your flesh-bags were frozen when you saw the enemy approach & kill your Sensei, and we could EASILY kill you if we wanted to als…"

"Kurama Shut it or you'll walk." Naru stated. Kurama muttered something about blonde brats and stupid hosts but kept his mouth shut afterwards not wanting to leave his host's soft hair and walk to Konoha. "Sorry about him Senju-san, but he does have a point. You can either come along with me or walk by yourselves." With that Naru tossed him the mission scroll from Iwa and turned to leave. Nawaki's eyes widened as he read through the scroll and called out to the fox lady.

"WAIT!" he motioned for his comrades to follow and continue their journey home with Naru. "Hey, Lady..."

"Naru"

"Umm, Naru-san. Did you know about those ninja." He questioned.

"It's quiet obvious with your name brat…" hmpf "But seriously I don't think that brats like yourselves should be taking on C-rank missions already. Y'all look like you came straight from the academy…hmm; at least tell me you know how to do the basic 3."

Shimon was the one to speak up, "Of course we know sheesh, and stop calling us brats. You don't look that much older than us." Naru bonked him on the head and said, "Brat I'm 17. Huff. Look since your sensei departed I'll train you chibis (squirts) till we reach the village.

"Ano, Naru-san, why would you train us?" Momoka replied.

"*sigh* it's so I don't have worry about your asses if we get caught fighting the enemy. Alright diamond formation. Momo-chan up front, Shimon to the left and Senju on the right. I'll be at the rear watching your progress."

"Alright flesh-bags, as much as I could less about your lives, I refuse to be in the presence of weaklings. So listen up brats." Naru rolled her eyes at her partner's antics but let him continue. It was better than teaching them by herself. "You are all to go through the 12 hand signs in the basic order as fast as you can, to improve on your time in weaving them. Even the smallest millisecond can save your ass. If you make a mistake you are all to shift places in a clock-wise direction. I'll throw small fire balls at you if you cheat. Also keep your senses on alert in-case of an attack. Now, START" He barked. As soon as the last word left his mouth the genin jumped into formation and started their training with their new sensei.

(6 hours later. 1:45pm)

As the group slowly approached the gates of Konohagakure, Naru and (little bit) Kurama were proud at the Genins improvement. Although their clothes were slightly brunt because they didn't believe Kurama's word and soon discovered that he was one sadist of a sensei, while Naru just laughed at their misfortune. The genin team enjoyed learning under the two; it was the most they have improved since graduating from the academy 2 months ago. Naru had also taught them the importance of teamwork and how that those that break the rules are scum, but those that abandon their friends are worse than scum and also about taking lives. How ending one life could save a hundred, this lifted their spirits and continued on training.

When they reached the gate, Naru & Kurama were surprised to see the Shodai and Nidaime waiting at the gate. "Kit just stay calm, we'll figure out a way to see your Aunt considering those two morons are still young & alive. I suggest that you tell them the truth, only slightly altered since you can't lie for shit" Naru frowned but nodded to Kurama's plan. Nawaki had run up his grandfather and tackled him into a hug and started talking to him about what happened on his first C-rank mission and how Naru & Kumara saved them from the Iwa shinobi. Momoka and Shimon reported to the Nidaime and handed him the scroll of their deceased sensei & the scroll from the Iwa ninja.

Naru just stood uncomfortably behind the group, until she tensed slightly under the Nidaime's gaze. For Kami's sake, does he HAVE to look over here? He looks fuckin' constipated. Kurama smirked at her comment but could feel her getting more annoyed underneath him. That was until what they noticed next left them gaping and wide-eyed; the Shodai slapped his brother upside the head and told him, "Have some manners brother, you know staring is rude…even if she is pretty." Naru then started to blush at the complement and Tobirama glare back at his older brother. Before he could open his mouth to reprimand his brother, Nawaki added, "Yeah Granduncle, she saved us and even helped train us on the way back home…Even if she is a Pretty fox lady, stop staring at her. You might scare off our new sensei." Kurama was annoyed that he wasn't even acknowledged for helping out and started openly sulking, "You brats didn't even thank me huff I helped as well…" he then went on to mumble about unappreciative brats and dumb flesh-bags, which made Naru giggle at the demon Lord and decided to tease him about it.

"Oh what's this, the Great Kurama-sama is-s, what's that…OH MY… NAHH, the Great Kurama-sama doesn't sulk. Does he?" this ended up with the 3 genin laughing on the floor and Naru crying fake anime tears about how her great leader lied to her. The Hokages both sweat dropped at her actions and just watched as the fox that was on top of her head hop off and flicked his tail so Naru fell over and began jumping on the Genins; making them laugh harder and pleaded for 'The Great kurama-Sama' to stop. Naru got over her laughing fit and picked up Kurama from on top of the Genins and apologised, "Gomen, I just had to do that. Not every day you see Kurama sulk." She scratched the back of her sheepishly.

With that done, the genin went of home and left Naru & Kurama alone with the Senju brothers. Before Naru could speak, Hashirama placed his hand on her shoulder and shunshined them to the Hokages office.

As soon as she got her balance she felt a blade at her throat, which she realized it was the Raijin and two deadly gazes from the Hokages. Kurama started growling but Naru stopped him saying, "Kurama, stop. Go back…NOW!' with that said Kurama disappeared in a puff of chakra smoke and returned to her mind-scape. I hope you know what you're doing kit. 'So do I Fuzz-ball, so do I.'

"Now tell Naru-san, what your intentions in this village? Don't think just because you saved my Grandson that you can freely walk into Konoha." The Shodai firmly stated. With the blade at her throat she didn't even want to attempt to try and lie.

"I'll tell you my reasons Hokage-sama if your brother removes his sword, I have rather bad memories with sharp objects…You have my word Hokage-sama, if I lie or make an attempt to hurt you or this village, I will pass willingly." The Shodai could see no hint of a lie and signaled for his brother to stand down. Tobirama was cautious at first, but didn't want to humiliate himself in front of the stranger once again. Though he did keep a steady hand on the hilt of his sword. Naru rolled her eyes and cleared her throat to say, "As for my intentions Hokage-sama, I wish to join your ranks."

"Oh and why should we allow you to be a shinobi for Konoha?" Tobirama replied

Naru scoffed at the Nidaime, making him annoyed, before facing the Shodai and told him of her life. She explained to them that her parents died just hours after her birth protecting her and how the village she lived in scorned her for their deaths. She told them of every action the villagers did to her for all the years she lived there; the people who treated her as a normal person. One of her nindo to become strong to protect those precious to her and that she found her godfather at the age of 13; where he took her out of the village and started training her for 3 years in the art of the shinobi; how he died and all those precious to her were gone. "Now I wish to aid a country whose beliefs were pure, and that is how I came across Konohagakure. I wish to teach the next generation into bring true peace to the Elemental countries, but most of all I'd like to raise a family somewhere friendly and safe."

During Naru's speech, the Shodai & Nidaime knew she wasn't lying and only felt sorrow for her past life and the love she emitted when she talked about those precious to her. When Hashirama heard that she wanted to bring peace and raise a family, he couldn't help but smile at her dreams, while Tobirama stared in awe, not that he would show it, how a 17 year old managed to stay sane in her village and still had a pure heart. The brothers looked at each other, and then nodded in agreement.

"Naru-san, I traced no hint of false comment and welcome you to the village, but before we can fully trust you in becoming a shinobi for our village, we will have you under 24/7 watch for a month. Is that clear, if we see you as an enemy we will execute you." The Shodai stated

Naru bowed and said, "Thank you, Hokage-sama." It felt weird for her to bow to someone, she had never done it that much. When she raised her head she gave the Shodai a foxy smile bringing brightness to the room. Oh this will be interesting. I wonder how Tobi-kun thinks about this. Hmm maybe I should…maybe.

"Tobirama show Naru-san to the Senju lodge by the forest edge. You can reside there for now Naru-san, till you have enough ryo to afford your own place."

"Thanks Hokage-sama…but please just call me Naru, I don't like formalities. They just sound weird." She rubbed the back of her head sheepishly; and then the Hokage barked out laughing.

"Then just call me Hashirama, I don't like formalities either, they make me sound old." Naru giggled at his personality change but they shook hands sealing the deal. Tobirama just shook his head and replied, "Well get used to it brother, you are the Hokage. You should really start acting your age dear brother." Hashirama's suddenly became depressed as his brother scolded him and decided to do some paperwork. Oh the glory of paperwork. Naru's giggling soon turned into her cherry laughter and exited the Hokage's office with the Nidaime.

Tobirama led Naru half-way through the village before he decided to speak to her but was silence when she raised her hand and summoned Kurama back. Kurama then went back to his usual place on top of Naru slightly glaring at Tobirama and him returning it back. She was oblivious to the stare down but heard Tobirama say, "I don't fully trust you yet Naru-san, hopefully during your watch it will change" Naru rolled her eyes at him and replied, "Call me Naru, Senju-san" though she didn't want to offend him by calling him by his first name already, they had just meet a couple of hours ago. He nodded and carried on walking towards their destination.

Damn who would of thought that the Nidaime would have a bigger stick up his ass than Neji and his stupid fate. Kurama smirked at this and replied. Maybe he needs the shit beaten out of him like that Hyuga boy. BAKA FOX, I might not be smart but even I know I can't take him on. Tsk, then during this month we should start training harder…maybe let those little flesh-bags join too. Oh? Does Kurama-sama like those flesh-bags more than his little kit? Yo-our so mean. Oh shut it kit…were here.

Naru cut of her connection with the Kyuubi and saw that she stood in front of a small homey cottage with a colourful flower garden lined against the front walls; a bench that can sit two placed in front of them. It was fenced off with a small white picket fence and she could see a small training ground to the rear. To top it off was the background drop of a lush forest that connected with the grounds. I've never seen this house before, maybe it got destroyed when you were forced to attack the village. Your probably right kit.

Tobirama faced Naru and witnessed her awe-stuck face; and smirked mentally then said with pride, "My brother and I built this when we first started construction of the village. I take it you like what you see?"

"It's beautiful, thank you Senju-san."

"Apologies Naru, but I never caught your last name."

Naru shook her head and said; "I never gave it; and don't intend to till I can also trust you and your brother." He sighed and knew from her tone that she wouldn't give it to him and he didn't want to threaten the young girl either. He had only known her for a couple of hours but felt compelled to protect her of the sorts. So he nodded once and handed her they key to the cottage, letting his calloused hands linger for a second longer on her soft ones and left her to explore the contents inside, but as soon as she opened the door she walked straight into a bedroom and threw herself at the bed, thanking Kami for the invention of a bed and promptly fell asleep.

Kurama had leapt off her head and settled at the foot of the bed to slowly drift off to sleep. Sleep well kit, we have a lot to do.

And that's a wrap for my first time-travel chapter. I hope you enjoyed reading it and continue to read further.

This story will NOT follow the Naruto timeline, with who died and what not. That's the joys of time-travel stories and Fan-fiction.

Don't forget to review, so I can improve with the story. Till Next time. :D
